ATF Leaks From Cooler Line Banjo Bolt
APPLIES TO:
1998-04 Accords, 2001-04 Civics, 1997-04 CR-Vs, 1999-04 Odysseys, 2003-04 Pilots
SERVICE TIP:
The banjo bolts and sealing washers on the ATF cooler lines are delicate and can be easily damaged if the line or the banjo bolt gets hit. Any movement
of the line or the banjo bolt crushes the two sealing washers and lets ATF leak past the seals.
Before you install an A/T or try finding an ATF leak, check the banjo bolt torque on the ATF cooler lines. If a banjo bolt is loose, remove the bolt along
with the sealing washers. And if the cooler line has a bracket, remove that bolt too. Inspect the sealing surface on the A/T housing. If the surface is OK,
reinstall the banjo bolt with new sealing washers, and torque the bolt to 28 Nm (21 lb-ft). Reinstall the bolt for the line bracket (if applicable), and
torque the bolt to 9.8 Nm (7.2 lb-ft).
